WOW.

Best book in the series by a long shot.

FPW is at his best when weaving tales of psychological horror, and goddamn does he absolutely crush it in this novel.

Between orchestrating Bill's loss of faith, Lisl's manipulation into cruelty and egoism, and the absolutely devastating final temptations, Rafe kept me both horrified and completely enthralled.

Also probably the most accurate depiction of how people fall into abusive relationships I've ever read.

So. Fucking. Good.
